By golly, a downtown bookstore has found a way to poke fun at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and draw attention to her new book released this week, "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Several copies of Palin's book, about her experience as John McCain's running mate in 2008 and life in Alaska, are stacked on the checkout counter at Bookshop Santa Cruz next to a bowl filled with small bags of walnuts -- a 2-for-1 special of sorts.

Customers who buy Palin's book, priced at $29 in hardcover, also get a free bag of "Just Plain Nutz."

... When Limbaugh's book "See I Told You So" came out in 1993, the book shop weighed the book and sold it for the price of baloney. Gingrich's 1995 book "Contract With America" came with a barf bag.

... Bookshop Santa Cruz isn't worried about offending many customers. So far only one book has been sold.

"When Limbaugh's book "See I Told You So" came out in 1993, the book shop weighed the book and sold it for the price of baloney."

Now that is brilliant.
